Doc Patch for customobjectvars.html

Hello all,

On nagios-users, someone reported that a custom variable did not work when used as a macro (substitution did not occur). See the thread at

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/65323/focus=65324

Short story - The documentation states that custom macro names are case insensitive when in fact, they are case-sensitive in that they are converted to all upper case and must be referenced as such when used. This is implied by the examples but unclear due to the previous case insensitive statement. The one line change attached updates that to indicate conversion to uppercase.

p.s. Is anyone actually using the tracker (besides Ton?) I'd submit it there but one I added in July hasn't been touched.
